~15yrs ago, the smartest kids were finishing Wharton undergrad in 2yrs, graduating summa in finance, by age 19 (and living in rental apts in suburban Cherry Hill NJ and driving to Phila for classes to avoid the additional ripoff of the slummy, unsafe dorms of WestPhila)....and less smart kids were finishing in 3yrs; retards needed 4yrs
And many of these fast-moving Wharton kids had amassed their AP/college credits while attending rather mediocre public HS in middle-income suburbs all over US; they just figured out what jobs they intended to eventually pursue when they were 10 or so, unlike retards who struggle with such basic career/life strategy decisions even as elderly 20-somethings
Common sense indicates one wants to gain a useful education as efficiently as possible and move on to most lucrative job and career one can enter using a famed college brand/major/GPA as a "union card"...not very complicated...Darwinian selection at work

I really doubt that considering 1) more elite schools are generally stingier regarding taking AP credits and 2) even if that wasn't the case, many schools aren't exactly flush with AP offerings, especially 15 years ago.

15 years ago, Wharton wasn't as competitive to get into as it is now. Average SAT was 1340 / 1600 (now it's nearly 1500 / 1600), and it was ranked 16th overall in the US World & News Report rankings (now it's #4).

Just because you can't decide on what you want to do for your WHOLE life at 10 or 20 yr of age does not mean you are a "retard" it just means you are not sure. People change their careers all the time.
I am all for saving money but no money is saved when 17 yr olds are forced to decide what they want to do with their lives and square pegs are pushed into round holes
Changing majors is normal but it can be costly if one is changing from say, Nursing to Business.
I love Mythology, literature and Art History.
I have never once in my life served fries.
College is NOT a vo-tech school with fancy buildings.
Well, your physician's art history degree is pretty useless.
Her MD degree, on the other hand, is not.
Her degree got her into med school. I wouldn't call that useless.
